UC Berkeley researchers develop new method for detecting early signs of Alzheimer's disease

UC Berkeley researchers have developed a new method for detecting early signs of Alzheimer's disease using a simple blood test. The method, which is described in a paper published in the journal Nature Medicine, can detect the presence of a protein that is associated with the development of Alzheimer's disease, even in people who do not yet show any symptoms of the disease.
